Welcome back to our blog series on effective classroom management. In this installment, we focus on one of the most critical aspects of classroom management: establishing expectations and routines at the beginning of the school year.
Expectations and routines are the foundation of a well-managed classroom. They provide students with a clear understanding of what is required of them and create a structured environment where learning can thrive. When these elements are established early on, they set the tone for the rest of the year, promoting consistency, reducing behavioral issues, and fostering a positive learning atmosphere.
